Anti-Libertarianism: Markets, Philosophy and Myth - neues Buch

Free marketeers claim that theirs is the only economic mechanism which respects and furthers human freedom. Socialism, they say, has been thoroughly discredited. Most libertarians treat the state in anything other than its minimal, 'nightwatchman' form as a repressive embodiment of evil. Some reject the state altogether. But is the 'free market idea' a rationally defensible belief? Or do its proponents fail to examine the philosophical roots of their so-called freedom? Anti-libertarianism takes a sceptical look at the conceptual tenets of free market politics. Alan Haworth argues that libertarianism is little more than an unfounded, quasi-religious statement of faith: a market romance. Moreover, libertarianism is exposed as profoundly antithetical to the very freedom which it purports to advance. This controversial book is for anyone interested in the cultural and political impact of free market policies on the modern world. It will be invaluable to students and specialists of political and economic theory, social science and philosophy. Anti-Libertarianism: Markets, Philosophy and Myth Haworth, Alan "Antilibertarianism reconsiders the theoretical libertarian stance, beginning with an analysis of the model of "mutually beneficial" exchanges which is at the core of libertarian thinking. Alan Haworth provides a skeptical exploration of the concepts and arguments which form the tenets of free market politics, and presents the view that libertarianism is no more than an unfounded, quasi-religious statement of faith--a market romance. He also exposes libertarianism as profoundly antithetical to the very freedom which it purports to advance.
